Well, I saw no topics were in this section (yet), so I thought I'd ask a quick RAM related question.

Recently, I've seen computers coming out with 756-1024MB RAM. Now, I bought my computer a couple months ago, and it has 512 MB DDR SDRAM. It seems to work okay for me, but I always love a faster computer. So, should I add some more or is 512 pretty standard and I should just keep it the same?

PS: Not that I have the cash to add anymore, but I can get some more mulah.

Actually, I probably should have mentioned that I EXTENSIVELY play an MMORPG called Final Fantasy XI. So I'm a pretty serious gamer (kinda). Anyway, another questioné; How much does...umm...whatever unit of measurement for RAM would another 512 cost (if I added that, it would make 1024)

That's funny considering all my main systems (4 Main ones) have only 512MB of DDR in them. I see no reason to go higher. Also, I run Win2K on most of my computers (Everyone of my 15 except some that run Linux, WinXP and even 98!)

I never have seen the RAM be a problem over 256 even. I consider 256 the bare minimum for XP and for Win2k I say 128. Anything higher is gravy.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Only 128? Oh you poor soul, I cry for ye. Well, not really.

Ack...FFXI. A sad turn of events for Square Enix. I'm a serious gamer too...which is why I'm working on ASE Games (coming soon)

Really? I was always under the impression that I always needed the best amount of everything (RAM for example). I use XP and like I said, it does work well...besides, I don't like a lot of kinds of gravy, especially mushroom, blech.

my friend just spent 2500$ on a new comp got everything as good as it oculd be, his parents are rich, but he got 2 gb of ram and even 2 100gb hds in a raid and its so freaking aweosme. i am always very tempted to tie him up, put him in a closet, steal his comp and his car and run away, or drive away rather.
